Can you only apply for the DTV visa from your home country?
I recently heard that you can now only apply for the DTV from your home country. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Every other day there seems to be more and more confusion about this visa!
Answer summary
There is confusion regarding the application process for the DTV visa, with some claiming that it can only be applied for from outside Thailand, particularly from one's home country. However, several comments indicate that applicants can still apply from various locations outside Thailand but cannot apply or switch to this visa while in the country. It is advisable to apply through a Thai embassy or consulate abroad.

Yes, you now have to apply for the DTV from outside Thailand. You can’t switch or apply for it while you’re inside the country anymore. It’s a newer rule, so best to plan your application through a Thai embassy or consulate abroad.

Nothing new, you can apply from your own country or others. However, you need to stay in the country of application.
